Geez. All I did was say that armor made him look fat.

Not tintable though, like it says in the winter event summary. Just red for naughty and gold for nice. I'll bug that when I can, but it's probably coming in a patch soon.

The timers for the Apocalypse do seem extremely long, but I also saw the same thing happen on Freedom that an earlier poster mentioned about almost all of the zones having one at the same time. I got most of the badges with one toon, but I've been waiting for about an hour with another one and nothing's happened. Frustrating.

Awesome. Now when do we get the top portion of the Cyborg outfit? I can't think of a single valid reason why a costume would be released incomplete, while charging to obtain said incomplete set.

The top pieces were in at launch. Try selecting the Cyborg full costume option. The cyborg pieces are under robotic arms.

Also, I'm glad that they changed this to lvl 1. I thought it was kind of strange (character-wise) to be a cyborg that had to wait 30 lvls to get glowing eyes or a heads up display.

I was pretty disappointed that the auras weren't available from level 1 myself. It made me realize exactly how many of my characters don't have auras yet.

As for the cyborg costume, I think I'm most enamored of the face details. By themselves, they make a pretty wicked looking mask. I'm all for more 3-D masks like we've been getting lately (Enforcer, Jester, Cyborg).

The temp power I only used twice so far to see how it looked. Gave some freaks a bit of a surprise in mission though when I started to feel crowded. That was fun.

I wonder if around noon today they're going to post a 'recant' and say "We really thought you guys wanted this, but we'll pull it even before we go into closed beta. BABs is in a corner crying over your comments right now, so bad forum! BAD BAD FORUM!"

Just a bit of a positive note to talk about heroes getting all the "good" powers and villains getting screwed. Out of the announced sets, there is one, maybe two heroes I might try out. One is the psi blaster, because I love psi but the disappointing damage on a dom is underwhelming. Don't worry though, this is one psi blaster who only pve's. As for the villains, there are at least three matched sets I'm gonna roll, not counting the two veats. Personally, I like storm, so storm/elec corr works great for me. Stone doms might be alright if they tweak the colors a bit so they're not so blah. Elec/Elec stalker might be fun too. All the naysayers that are saying that this set won't add up or just fail, remember that noone has seen the power lists or their descriptions. We don't know how these will shape up, or even how they'll change from closed to open to live. I for one love storm because it's unique. Mind you it takes some skill to just not knockback all the melee ATs targets all the time, but all ATs and sets have to keep certain things in mind when playing on a team.
